Cosmo Confession: Going Down South

Cosmo readers share their most shocking stories and steamiest secrets.

"I was visiting my longtime beau, Jay, for the weekend at his college in New Orleans. At some point during the night, I woke up and realized that I'd gotten my period. I didn't have a tampon and I couldn't find my underwear in the dark, so I pulled on a pair of Jay's boxers and ran to the bathroom down the hall. I was sitting on the toilet, thinking about what I should do, when one of his roommates knocked on the door. I totally panicked, so I stuck a bunch of toilet paper into my shorts. While the guy was in the bathroom, I went to the kitchen to adjust my makeshift pad. Suddenly, the light came on and I looked up to see his roommate staring at me with my hand down my pants. He had this weird, goofy look on his face, like he was confused but a little turned on at the same time. To this day, I don't know if he ever told Jay about it." -Emily, 22
